While “Coach Prime” won’t be helping his former team win another Super Bowl, which Dallas hasn’t done since Sanders was on the roster following the 1995 season, he offered his perspective on its repeated postseason shortcomings. Last week’s stunning wild-card loss to the Green Bay Packers marked the Cowboys’ 13th consecutive playoff appearance without reaching the conference title game. The 28-year drought is currently the second-longest in the NFC.
The Cowboys’ main issue, according to Sanders, is they’re not living up to the famous mantra, “big-time players making big-time plays in big-time games.”
“I’ve been on every side of this thing,” Sanders said. “I know you can dial it up, but if [the players] don’t do their jobs, it ain’t gonna work. … I wish we could watch the game film in the stadium with the fans, so they could see what’s said in [those] meetings.”
Regarding his own team, Sanders has brought in several reinforcements for the Buffaloes’ 2024 season via the transfer portal — especially on the offensive line, whose struggles led to quarterback Sheduer Sanders, Deion’s son, becoming the most-sacked quarterback in the FBS last season. Colorado is gearing up for its transition back to the Big 12 conference next season.
